About this product

Explore STEM concepts while building a working Roller Coaster! Using the materials included in this set, middle-school aged children will be engaged and energized as they further their knowledge and understanding of the science, technology, engineering and maths concepts associated with a real-life amusement park ride. The set includes over 500 parts plus a battery-powered motor for a single child or team of 2-3 children to build a working Roller Coaster, plus 2 additional models: a Ramp and a Half-Pipe (each model can be built one at a time).

Once built, a downloadable booklet guides students through 3 hands-on, inquiry-based experiments on each of the models.

Students will learn about the relationship between time, distance and speed plus much more!

The Experiment Guide is aligned to national STEM standards and is appropriate for grade levels 5-9.

Hi Jules,

Having spoken with our supplier they have advised there are alternate instructions for a Half Pipe and a Ramp that can be built with the parts from this set. They are just different builds and not necessarily smaller than the actual Roller Coaster. We do not provide instructions for building a smaller roller coaster with this set; however, you are welcome to experiment and perhaps come up with something smaller of your own design.

I hope this helps.
